Tyrone keep the dream alive with a 13 point win over UUJ.

As long as we hockey Donegal we should make the semi.

It’s “Wicked Wednesday” in the world’s greatest pre-season GAA competition with the dramatic conclusions of all three groups.

Armagh v Down and the blockbuster meeting of Tyrone and Donegal are the two stand-out ties.

Down will be on a high after recording their first senior inter-county victory of any sort since April 2015 on Sunday when they beat Derry.

Tyrone are in the last chance saloon for keeping the six in a row dream alive.

Wednesday 18 January

Inniskeen is one of the all-time great McKenna Cup venues.

I’m going for two matches with floodlight failure.

The old McKenna cup was ran after the league and before the Ulster championship . The games were played in smaller grounds like Lurgan , Irvinestown , Castleblaney , Newcastle , Ballinascreen etc …

Surely there is a DUP scheme to incentivise generating light in occupied Ulster ???

The Asian betting market on McKenna Cup games has been booming in recent years.

Power cut in Derry!!! :joy::joy::joy::joy:

Tyrone 1-12 Donegal 0-03 HT

The dream is well and truly alive!

Fermanagh look like they could nip us for best 2nd spot but UUJ lead Cavan at the minute so we will qualify as group winners.

Fermanagh look home and hosed bar a late Antrim scoring spree for best 2nd.

Everything will hinge on the Monaghan and Cavan games. Our fate lies out of our hands, guys.

Ye need to sign Jockstrap McHaggishead

I can’t handle this tension.

Ah no, we’re grand whatever. I misinterpreted the scoring average rule. It’s cumulative rather than per game so we’re good.

Great I’ll let Jockstrap know he’s not needed

Tyrone 2-21 Donegal U21s 0-06
